Hourglass

Although it is only a piece of decoration or souvenir nowadays, the hourglass is the one of earliest tool to accurately keep track of time. It is probably invented in medieval Europe. Until the innovation of the mechanical clock, the hourglass was the preferred method to measure time, especially aboard ships. It is quite dependable, stable despite external disturbance such as the motion of a ship, and because it uses sand it will not freeze in cold conditions. Modern use of the hourglass includes as a timer for cooking eggs or other food and for timing many procedures of the Australian Parliament.

Burj Al Arab

The Burj Al Arab, meaning the Tower of the Arabs, is a self-proclaimed seven star luxury hotel located in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Its design is based on the curved triangular sails of a dhow, a traditional Arabic vessel. To enhance the representation, the hotel was also built on a reclaimed island in the Red Sea. Such project was difficult to realise and needed a hefty amount of time and money, yet it went ahead because the sponsor wanted a structure that is truly unique and recognisable for Dubai, much like the Opera House is to Sydney. Although the structure is quite massive, it only accommodates 202 rooms, as much of the space is used for the 180m tall atrium on the curved side of the building.

Project 2 at UNSW Foundations Design Studio

As stated, the piece of work above is my response to the second studio assignment at the foundation design course. It is entirely made out of 200g paper and foamboard, held together by glue and discretely, tape. The whole work is white as not to distract the main purpose of the assignment, which is to produce an imaginative and abstract 3D space using one or two principle(s) of design. My particular work uses the principle of scale, brought by the differing height of the 'platforms'and varying size of the pyramids.
